Events Calendar

Hosted annually by the Texas Law Career Services Office, Public Service Career Fair (PSCF) is the largest public service job fair for law students in Texas. During both days of PSCF, which will be held January 28-29, 2016, public interest and government employers will conduct on-campus interviews for paid and unpaid summer and permanent positions in the Career Services Interview Suite.

1L and 2L students interested in criminal law can apply to join the Journal without completing the write-on process. Submit a resume with your GPA (with grades, if available) and statement of interest (500 word max) to Managing.AJCL@gmail.com by 2:00 PM on Friday 2/4.

The Journal will place significant weight on a demonstrated interest in criminal law.

The Texas Law Review at the University of Texas in Austin will be hosting a symposium January 28–30, 2016, Thursday evening to Saturday luncheon, tentatively titled “The Constitution and Economic Inequality.” While the general topic of economic inequality has recently attracted a huge wave of popular and scholarly attention, legal scholars are only now beginning to explore the problem’s constitutional dimensions. This Symposium will change that. We will examine the emerging, many-sided problem of economic inequality in constitutional theory, history, and political economy.

The Texas Law Review is working with Professors Joseph Fishkin and William Forbath to design this event, which will bring together a high-powered group of legal scholars, historians, and other academics to focus on the relationship between the Constitution and our political economy, including arguments that the Constitution depends on preventing oligarchy and preserving a broad, accessible middle class. We are inviting scholars to think about inequality and unequal opportunity in a variety of substantive areas. The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the Texas Law Review.

The two-day event will feature dynamic speakers and leaders from various sectors of the energy industry.

YMCA Youth and Government allows middle and high school students to experience the excitement of our state government in action.
